Here is video of Chris Christie's press conference this morning where he denied knowledge of the George Washington Bridge scandal. He says he's "heartbroken" and has dismissed his top aide Bridget Kelly after emails and text messages revealed a plan to snarl traffic to exact revenge on Fort Lee's mayor.

Govenor Christie issued the following statement this morning:

"What I've seen today for the first time is unacceptable. I am outraged and deeply saddened to learn that not only was I misled by a member of my staff, but this completely inappropriate and unsanctioned conduct was made without my knowledge. One thing is clear: this type of behavior is unacceptable and I will not tolerate it because the people of New Jersey deserve better. This behavior is not representative of me or my Administration in any way, and people will be held responsible for their actions."
